Markham market insight

Commercial Leasing across Markham

Markham is one of the GTA's most sought-after family markets, prized for excellent schools, a thriving tech economy and the historic charm of Unionville's Main Street. Buyers come for safe, well-planned communities and strong resale demand.

Demand is consistently strong in top school catchments like Berczy and Unionville, where freehold homes hold value well. Markham Centre adds a growing condo and townhome market for downsizers and professionals.

Stouffville and Richmond Hill GO lines, Highways 404/407 and a deep base of tech employers shape daily life. Unionville's historic Main Street, Toogood Pond and the Markham Pan Am Centre round out the lifestyle.

Markham buyers frequently buy for the school catchment first and the house second - top-ranked schools in Berczy, Unionville and Wismer command real premiums and hold value through market cycles. A strong tech-employment base keeps demand resilient.

  • Historic Unionville
  • Tech employment hub

Markham FAQ

Frequently asked

What are commercial lease rates like in Markham?

Rates vary widely by node and property type within Markham. Reach out and we'll share current asking rents, TMI ranges and availability for the Markham submarket you're considering.

How much do schools affect Markham home prices?

Significantly - homes in top catchments like Berczy and Unionville often command a premium and resell faster. We'll confirm exact boundaries before you commit.

Is Markham Centre a good option for downsizers?

Yes - its condos and townhomes offer lower-maintenance living with transit and amenities close by. Text us to compare current options.

What does TMI mean?

TMI stands for Taxes, Maintenance and Insurance - the additional costs beyond base rent in most commercial leases. We make sure you understand the fully-loaded cost per square foot before committing.

Net lease vs. gross lease?

In a net lease the tenant pays base rent plus TMI; in a gross lease most costs are bundled. The right structure depends on your business - we'll model both.

Can you negotiate a tenant allowance?

Often, yes - especially for longer terms. We regularly negotiate free rent and improvement allowances to offset build-out costs.

How long do commercial leases usually run?

Most range from three to ten years depending on the space and your build-out investment. We negotiate term length, renewal options and exit flexibility to match your business plan.

Do you represent both landlords and tenants?

Yes - though never on opposite sides of the same deal. We bring tenant-rep diligence to occupiers and disciplined tenant placement to landlords.
